just a thread where everyone can talk about what they've done. washington sports suck. they don't have a problem with one freak stacking a team in a league and running roughshod over it with pure talent. i've got several girls who have played for several years and were shocked when i told them to dribble with their off hand and look up at me. their skill level is way below my 2nd graders that i coached in oklahoma.
this is my daughters 3rd year playing (1st, 4th, and 5th) she broke her arm in 2nd grade and her back in 3rd grade so she didn't play.
1st practice ->
gave out the attached stuff to the parents (visio with court diagrams and a sample skill inventory for dribbling that i created).
went through an evaluation with the players which consisted of all the dribbles on the evaluation sheet to see where we were.
went through stationary passing drills then added some complexity (2 dribbles walking and then pass and then 4 dribbles running and then pass).
tried to do a boxing out drill but they had no idea what i was talking about so i dropped it
did 3 person passing drills down the court
moved to 2 person passing drills down the court
did layup drill (actually had to teach them how to do it)
did stationary shooting drills from each low block, each elbow and the free throw line
talked to the parents and that was the hour
next practice
warm up with dribbling (5 minutes)
teach the girls how to dribble (basic dribble, side to side with one hand dribble and the advanced crossover) 15 minutes
teach the girls proper shot form (10 minutes)
free shooting period w/ water break (5 minutes) while i talk to the parents
full court layup drill (10 minute) push intensity and speed of players
explain concept of man to man defense (5 min)
scrimmage (10 minutes)
future items
blocking out, one on one matchups, zone defense, shot fakes, pick and roll, give and go, etc.
